Paluma Range\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a north Queensland rainforest cassia, known by the range it was collected from rather than by a settled species name. Like the ornamental cassias generally, it is grown for sprays of clear yellow pea like flowers carried over a rounded canopy of pinnate foliage, on a tree of modest scale for a rainforest species. It suits warm frost free gardens in the subtropics and tropics, where it gives a strong seasonal flower display on a tree that also functions as useful light shade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhy Cassia sp.
